Does how you spell your email address have any
impact on how much SPAM you get? I take it the SPAMMERs have some sort of
program than randomly generates names. So, if my email address before @q.com was
kh234.78-439Q vs. khartung would that make a difference?
it might... a bit.. but that method of finding addresses is rather old now... but still goes on. There are so many lists now, and so many ways of checking to see if a mail is genuine, think one has to just accept that your mail address will get into the hands of spammers.
But if you use Gmail, you never se spam, therefore the demand for it will be reduced, until they just stop doing it.
I tried Gmail, but I just don't like the interface.
It is odd at first look
I like being able to make traditional folders,
you have that with a new name Labels... just assign a mail a label and it will be sorted thus. and think about this... a mail can have 2 or more labels.. therfore you can sort a mail into 2 "folders".
being able to have viewing
pane,
I understand that one... especially for skim reading, but since NOT having it, I really dont miss it!!!
and being able to work on email offline.
Im never offline... in Oslo at least... there is blanket wireless over the whole city... but im interested in that too, for travelling
The main thing that you must get used to is the idea that you just dont need to delete anthing.. I do actually, but having the searching caperbilities of Google working for you in your mailbox, means that i think its easier to find things in one mutha of a folder, than lots and lots of supposedly organised folders...
